Karine Le Marchand unveils format overhaul for new season of 'L'amour est dans le pré

Karine Le Marchand, the long‑time host of M6’s dating programme "L'amour est dans le pré", announced several changes for the upcoming season 21, slated to launch on 17 August. The new edition will feature a revised speed‑dating segment in which Le Marchand will wear a microphone and speak directly to the farmers, while the participants will be placed alone in a room without a cameraman. Camera work will be operated remotely, allowing contestants to control the interaction and reveal more of their personalities.

In addition to the format tweaks, Le Marchand spoke publicly about her personal life, reiterating her single status and emphasizing the need for complete transparency from anyone who might become involved with her, citing concerns about privacy and potential legal or financial repercussions. She also hinted at the challenges of managing certain contestants, describing some as difficult due to punctuality or strong personalities.
